These are just "const" symbols defined in various files; there's
probably some mysterious compiler or linker problem, or a problem of
some sort with libtool.

Unfortunately, I have no idea what the problem might be.

That's probably another libtool problem; it may be passing some
command-line option to the linker that HP are considering removing in
the future.

You might check the page at

	http://www.gnu.org/software/libtool/libtool.html

and see if there's anything about problems like that (either with
Ethereal or with other programs - often build problems with Ethereal are
just generic problems with build tools, and show up with other programs
as well) in any of the mailing lists.
